UK man with a sick obsession for publicly masturbating near horses has been arrested twice within 24 hours for the same lewd offense
Malcolm Downes, 61, who has a “long, long history” of pleasuring himself in front of the mammals, was arrested on Feb. 18 after he was spotted touching himself in a field in the city of Hull, England, Metro UK reported.
A witness initially thought that Downes was urinating but it “soon became clear he was in fact masturbating,” prosecutor Neil Coxon said, according to the news outlet.
“This activity went on for three or four minutes. His penis was exposed for about 10 minutes,” Coxon said.
When police grilled Downes about the illicit act, he told detectives: “I was sat on a bench. I was feeling sexy so I started to…”
Downes told cops he knew what he was doing was wrong, according to the news site.
The suspect was then released on bail after saying he had been planning to see his doctor for libido-suppressing drugs.
But within 24 hours, Downes could not resist his urges and was back at the same field, where he was caught by an off-duty cop.
The offender ultimately was jailed for eight months.
Downes admitted he has a problem, but that he got a thrill out of pleasuring himself, according to Metro UK.
According to the news outlet, Downes, who recently reconnected with his family after being exiled, had 12 similar busts on his record.
He also had nine breaches of an antisocial behavior order for masturbating in public, the news site reported.
The court order had barred Downes from entering any field, stable or area that may have equine animals across the northern English county of Humberside.
“The defendant is very disappointed to be back before the courts again for precisely the same sort of behavior he’s been convicted of in the past,” Downes’ lawyer, Stephen Robinson, told a judge.
“The defendant was of the view he’d been doing quite well,” Robinson said.
Robinson added: “He can’t really explain it. He said he felt he was starting to conquer his demons. He believes this was some sort of lapse he can’t explain. He is, he insists, very sorry for his actions.”
Judge David Tremberg told Downes: “You know you are doing wrong, but you appear either unable or unwilling to stop yourself.”

Substitute teacher who admitted sex with boys gets no jail time
A former substitute teacher in Louisiana who pleaded guilty to having sex with three boys will be spared jail time, thanks to a plea deal.
Heidi M. Verrett, 34, pleaded guilty on March 22 to three misdemeanor counts of carnal knowledge of a juvenile and one count of contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile after her 2016 arrest on charges of having sex with three 15- and 16-year-old boys at her home, the Houma Courier reported.
District Judge John Walker suspended Verrett’s six-month jail term following her guilty pleas, sentencing the former Terrebonne Parish substitute teacher and teacher’s aide to two years of unsupervised probation, along with $900 in fines.
The plea agreement also prohibits Verrett from teaching for two years, but prosecutors said she won’t be instructing students in Terrebonne Parish or other districts for the rest of her life.
“We have been assured she would never be able to teach in the school system again,” Terrebonne Parish Assistant District Attorney Dennis Elfert said. “From a legal standpoint, the maximum probationary period is two years, and that is the extent to which the probation can legally be bound.”
Regardless of those requirements, Elfert said prosecutors told relatives of the teen victims that Verrett would not be allowed to return to a classroom.
Verrett’s attorney, Teresa King, said her client was pleased with the outcome.
“She wanted to avoid the risk of jail time,” King told the newspaper. “If we had gone to trial, there’s always that risk. So I think the deal was worked out in everyone’s best interest.”
Police in Houma said Verrett also had “inappropriate” discussions with a 12-year-old boy on social media.
Verrett was charged with having sex with the teens during a two-month period in late 2016, according to court records cited by WDSU. As part of her plea deal, Verrett does not have to register as a sex offender, the station reported.
And although Verrett’s employment will not be restricted once her probation expires, Elfert said it’s very unlikely she’d be hired by another district.
“Anybody who might want to hire this woman in the future, especially when it involves kids, is going to see that on her record,” Elfert told the Houma Courier. “I would suggest there won’t be many school systems at all that would hire her.”

Ex-school employee: I lost my virginity to a 15-year-old student
A former middle school employee in Houston admitted losing her virginity to a 15-year-old student, saying she loved him “with all of her heart,” court documents reveal.
Hannah Parisa Siboyeh, who worked as a paraprofessional at Labay Middle School, was arrested last week after confessing to investigators that she had the illicit relationship, which she characterized as “one mistake after another,” the Houston Chronicle reported.
Siboyeh, 24, told authorities that she lost her virginity to the former student — who is now in high school — at the school during the summer of 2017 and later had sex with the teen at his house, in a park and at a hotel in Houston, according to the report.
“She admitted that she loved [the boy] with all of her heart,” court documents obtained by the newspaper show.
Police were tipped off about the relationship by an assistant principal in April. The administrator said an anonymous tipster told her about a sexual relationship between a district employee and a male student, detailing a visit to the teen’s house during which the tipster reported seeing the student and Siboyeh lying in bed together.
The informant also reported “weird noises” coming from the room while she was there, according to charging documents that reveal additional witnesses also confirmed Siboyeh and the teen were in a boyfriend-and-girlfriend-type relationship.
Siboyeh, who is facing charges of an improper relationship with a student and sexual assault of a child, appeared in court Monday after posting $10,000 bond. She was ordered by a judge to stay away from the boy and his relatives. She must also stay away from any child care facility, school or residence where the boy resides, according to the Houston Chronicle.
Investigators recovered several explicit images of Siboyeh and the boy on her phone, as well as video of the two having sex, KPRC reports.
Siboyeh, meanwhile, got emotional after leaving court Monday with her attorney, according to the station. Attorney Robert Kelton said the former paraprofessional, who also worked as a substitute teacher, is very nervous due to the allegations and potential prison time she faces — up to 17 years if convicted on both charges she faces.
Kelton also claimed that the boy’s family did not want charges filed against Siboyeh, KIAH reports.
Siboyeh, who has since been removed from her position, is due back in court Nov. 11.

Woman forced ex to have sex holding machete to his face
A Montana woman broke into a man’s house with a machete, ordered him to take off his clothes and forced him to have sex with her, police said.
Samantha Ray Mears, 19, was charged Friday with two felonies — aggravated burglary and assault with a weapon — as well as several misdemeanors for the incident at her ex-boyfriend’s Great Falls home, according to the Great Falls Tribune.
Mears reportedly broke into her ex of seven years’ house Friday while he was away. When he returned, she confronted him with the large knife, demanded that he take off all his clothes and ordered him to lie on his bed.
Fearing bodily harm, the victim complied and she proceeded to remove her pants and climb on top of him.
Mears then began to engage him in sexual intercourse — all while still holding the machete.
When he tried to get her to stop, Mears refused and bit him on the arm, according to KFBB.
After she finished, she sat naked on the bed, brandishing the weapon. At that point, the victim was able to take several photos of her, which he turned over to the police as evidence.
When an argument ensued soon after, an enraged Mears ripped a piece of trim from the victim’s wall and deliberately urinated in his bed, according to KFBB.
The ex-boyfriend was able to alert the authorities after claiming he needed to call a friend, then escaping from the room to dial 911.
According to the Tribune, Mears was also arrested in April after a previous argument at the victim’s home where she grabbed his hair, hit him in the face and attempted to strangle him.
The state has also filed a restraining order against the defendant, according to KFBB.

High school soccer coach accused of pimping teen girls
A high school soccer coach who also worked as a rideshare driver was arrested for human trafficking after a 17-year-old girl called police and said she was being sold for sex, authorities in California said.
Elan Daniel Seagraves, 34, of Sacramento, was arrested on Christmas Day after the teen contacted the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department and said she was sexually assaulted and being forced into human trafficking, sheriff officials said in a news release.
The girl told deputies she was hiding in the back yard of a home in south Sacramento at the time and that the man responsible for forcing her into performing sex acts for money was waiting for her in a nearby vehicle, sheriff officials said.
Responding deputies then found Seagraves in a car with another girl who was also 17. Both girls were victims of human trafficking, authorities said.
Investigators learned that Seagraves had worked as the boys’ soccer coach at Kennedy High School in Sacramento, as well as a coach and referee for various local youth soccer leagues. He also worked as a driver for both Uber and Lyft, according to sheriff officials.
Seagraves, who was arrested on charges related to human trafficking and pimping of a minor, remained held on $2 million bail as of Monday, jail records show. He’s scheduled to return to court Thursday, the Sacramento Bee reports.
There’s no indication that the allegations are connected to Seagraves’ role as a soccer coach or driver, but authorities want to talk to anyone who had interactions with him, KTXL reports.
“It’s absolutely 100 percent alarming,” Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department Sgt. Shaun Hampton told the station. “We want to encourage, regardless of the circumstances, regardless of any other things they may be involved in, it’s important to come forward.”
School district officials, meanwhile, said they were disappointed in Seagraves’ “unacceptable” behavior.
“While he passed a background check and had no prior offenses when we hired him to coach soccer in our district, we expect more appropriate behavior from someone we trusted to work with our kids,” according to a statement released by the Sacramento City Unified School District. “Mr. Seagraves will no longer be allowed to work with our kids in any capacity.”
Seagraves also holds a teaching credential and has worked in the past as a substitute teacher and an instructional aide, according to the Sacramento Bee, citing a government watchdog group called Transparent California.
An Uber official also confirmed that Seagraves had worked as a driver and passed a background check in accordance with state law. He has since been removed from the rideshare service, the Sacramento Bee reported.
Seagraves’ Lyft account has also been “immediately disabled,” according to company officials.
“These allegations are incredibly disturbing,” Lyft officials told the newspaper in a statement. “Our concern is with the victims, and we stand ready to assist law enforcement in any way that we can.”
Anyone with information regarding Seagraves is asked to contact Sacramento County sheriff’s officials at (916) 874-8002.

Long Island man busted for sexually abusing two horses
A Long Island man has been arrested for having sexual contact with two horses, cops said Thursday.
Steven Errante was busted Wednesday after cops determined he allegedly had inappropriate contact with the horses on Aug. 25 and Sept. 4 at a stable in his home town of Dix Hills.
In 2013, Errante, 30, was arrested for beating his Labrador mix named Chantel Girl with a bat.
The dog suffered skull and facial fractures and broken front legs. She had to be euthanized.
In addition to beating the dog, Errante also broke his own father’s ribs with a baton in 2013, according to authorities.
He was ordered to add his name to Suffolk County’s Animal Abuse Offender Registry.
He failed to do so and cops opened an investigation. During the probe, they uncovered the alleged sexual abuse of the horses.
Errante is charged with two counts of sexual misconduct with animals and failure to register as an animal abuse offender.
Brooklyn man stabs, rapes ex-girlfriend in act of vengeance after slitting her friend’s throat
Minutes after his girlfriend broke up with him, a maniacal Brooklyn man busted into her apartment and slit her friend’s throat before stabbing and raping his ex-gal pal, sources said.
The savage attack in Sea Gate spanned five hours — all while the girlfriend’s 11-year-old daughter hid in a bedroom — and left the friend clinging to life on a ventilator, cop sources said Tuesday.
While holding the pair hostage, the jilted suspect, Ruslan Baimov, 40, alternated between kissing his wounded girlfriend, raping her and threatening to kill her.
“After kissing me, he said, ‘Oh, son of a bitch, I’ll kill you. I love you. No, I’ll kill you,’” the girlfriend told the Daily News.
“I said, ‘Please, I have a child… You already have one woman dying. Now you will have two, maybe three.’”
The brutal assault was set in motion after the friend went to visit Baimov’s girlfriend at her apartment near Neptune Ave. and Beach 45th St. shortly before midnight Saturday.
The two went to see Baimov, who lives in the top floor of the two-family home, to tell him the girlfriend was ending their two-year romance, sources said.The women returned to the girlfriend’s place. While she was taking a shower, Baimov pushed in an air conditioner and climbed through the open window, sources said.
“Oh my God! Oh my God!” the friend shouted as the blade-wielding Baimov walked toward her.
“She tried to call 911 but she couldn’t,” the girlfriend told The News.
“Then he took her phone, smashed it, grabbed her neck and said ‘Bitch!’ and then took the knife and stabbed her in the neck.”
As the friend crumbled to the floor, gasping for air, the girlfriend ran into a bedroom and told her daughter to lock the door and not leave the room.
There was blood everywhere,” the girlfriend said.
Baimov grabbed the woman by the throat and threw her onto the couch. He moved to stab her in the neck but stopped short and broke out in sobs, she said.
“He was crying,” the girlfriend said. “He was saying, ‘I don’t want to kill you because I love you.’”
Baimov ripped open her shirt and tried to have sex with her, but the girlfriend shoved him off of her.
The girlfriend’s 38-year-old friend was still lying on the floor, barely breathing and surrounded by blood.
The girlfriend pleaded with Baimov to let her give some water to the critically-injured woman.
“He said, ‘Okay, I’ll give you 30 seconds,’” the girlfriend recalled. “So I gave her some water. She was making these gasping noises but I could hear her drink.”
Baimov’s brief display of compassion switched back to rage.
He grabbed his girlfriend and for a second time attempted to rape her.
He ultimately forced her to perform oral sex in the bathroom.
But the sex act gave way to more violence as Baimov suddenly slashed his girlfriend’s shin with his knife.
Seeing the blood, Baimov stopped the attack and started kissing the wound.
“Then, maybe because he loved me, because he’s crazy, he freaked out and started kissing it,” the girlfriend said. “It was bleeding everywhere.”
The attack stretched on, with Baimov again pouncing on his girlfriend.
Finally, about 4:50 a.m. Sunday, the girlfriend managed to convince Baimov to leave the apartment and return to his place to go to sleep.
The girlfriend’s friend was rushed to Coney Island Hospital, where she remains in critical condition.
Baimov was arraigned Tuesday on attempted murder and rape charges and ordered held without bail.
Assistant District Attorney Ari Rottenberg said the girlfriend’s pal is “brain dead” and “likely to die in a few days.”
Teen accused of raping neighbor allegedly asked if he could do yard work to make it up to her
An 18-year-old Florida man raped his neighbor at knifepoint and then asked her if he could make it up to her by doing yardwork, authorities said.
The woman was awakened Friday by a masked man “hovering over her,” according to a probable cause affadavit.
Timothy Walding “then placed his hand tight over her mouth and told her not to scream while holding a knife to her neck.”
The woman told cops she could only see the suspect’s eyes as he tied both her hands together. Cops say that Walding spoke to the victim after sexually assaulting her, and that there was “a lot of dialogue” between them.
Fearing for her life, the woman tried to convince the suspect she did not know him. He told her that he “could not imagine leaving two kids without a mother because his mother passed away” when he was 12.
Walding would later reveal himself to her by taking off his mask, according to cops.
When she asked him how he got into the house, he said, “you really should deadbolt your door because I didn’t really want to do this, but I had to do it,” according to the affadavit.
He is facing multiple charges, including three counts of sexual assault.

Texas math teacher, 52, accused of ‘sex in public park’ with her teen boy student
A San Antonio high school math teacher was arrested Thursday on suspicion she had sexual relations for more than a year with her 17-year-old student — including once at a public park.
Alberta Padilla, 52, an educator at Claudia Taylor “Lady Bird” Johnson High School in the North East Independent School District is accused of a relationship that allegedly began in June 2016 and lasted until Aug. 20, 2017, according to WCVB.
Padilla allegedly admitted to having the relationship with the teenager after she let him stay at her home and gave him clothing and food, saying she and the student developed feelings for one another over time.
The educator reportedly confessed to police that she and the student had sexual relations about 15 to 20 times over the year — including at a town’s public park.
Authorities reportedly discovered the relationship after Padilla’s daughters taped a conversation they had with the teenager who cautioned them not to go to the police and tell them of the relationship. The student also reportedly told the girls that he loved their mother.
Police said the student confessed he and Padilla had sexual relations.
Padilla has been booked into the Bexar County Jail and was being held on a $20,000 bond, according to KTSA.
Aubrey Chancellor, a spokesperson for the school district, said they were determining whether to terminate Padilla, who has been placed on leave, according to Fox San Antonio.
Weatherman killed himself after he was reported for sex assault
A meteorologist in Maine who committed suicide last month was named Thursday in a sexual assault investigation — and would be charged if he were still alive, authorities announced.
Tom Johnston, who had been a meteorologist for WCSH since 2014, would face a felony charge of gross sexual assault in connection to a sexual assault that police say occurred on April 1 at a home in Newry and was reported the following morning from a hospital in Bridgton, the Morning Sentinel reported.
Oxford County Sheriff Wayne Gallant told reporters during a press conference Thursday that Johnston, 46, was the only suspect in the assault and was identified by both a witness and the alleged victim, the newspaper reports.
Johnston, whose nickname was “TJ Thunder,” was reported missing April 3 by his girlfriend after he didn’t return home following an event at the Sunday River Ski Resort. Police found his body three days later in a wooded area in Auburn. The state medical examiner determined Johnston died of hypothermia from environmental exposure after cutting himself on both arms and losing consciousness.
Gallant told reporters he believes Johnston knew he was a suspect in the assault, adding that investigators had previously left messages for him were not unable to reach him.
The investigation is now closed since Johnston is dead. He is not believed to have been connected to any other crimes, Gallant said.
Local new reports speculated about Johnston’s involvement in an alleged assault days after his death, but Thursday’s news conference was the first time authorities confirmed that he was a suspect, the Bangor Daily News reports.
